The story behind the name

Meet Camila.

Camila is the Spanish form of Camilla, a name with Latin roots traditionally associated with a young ceremonial attendant. The related Camilla also appears in Roman literature as a swift-footed huntress.

The single L is a useful spelling distinction from Camilla. Camila's three-syllable Spanish pronunciation places the emphasis in the middle, which gives it a different rhythm from some English pronunciations of the double-L form.
